The requirements from which the Petitioner seeks a waiver are those in Florida Americans with Disabilities Accessibility Implementation Act (the Act), Section 553.509, Florida Statutes, which require the Petitioner to provide vertical accessibility to all levels above and below the occupiable grade level of a building, structure, or facility. Specifically, Petitioner requests a waiver from providing vertical accessibility to the second floor of an existing historic commercial building.

Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Existing historic building property lot lines extend to the exterior boundary of the building. Therefore, there is inadequate room for on-site parking. On street parking is available and deemed adequate by the municipal zoning authority.
